  • Descrição: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have garnered increasing attention within medical education as there have been increased efforts to diversify the physician workforce among medical students, residents, fellows, and attendings. One way in which programs can improve their DEI initiatives and attract a more diverse pool of applicants is through DEI content on their graduate medical education websites. Prior studies characterizing the content and prevalence of DEI material on residency webpages have shown that dermatology residencies have relatively low levels of DEI content on their websites in which almost ¾ of all programs having no DEI content. Little is known, however, if similar findings are to be expected for the three main dermatology subspecialty fellowship program webpages: Dermatopathology, Pediatric Dermatology, and Micrographic Surgery and Dermatology Oncology. Fellowship programs were identified using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's online database of fellowship programs. Programs were evaluated on a standardized scoring system for five equally weighted criteria: fellowship-specific DEI webpage, DEI commitment statement, DEI initiatives (summer research opportunities for under-represented minorities, DEI council, etc.), link to the institution's DEI homepage, and information about bias training. The mean score among all programs was 12.5. Pediatric dermatology ranked the highest among all specialties, while Mohs ranked the lowest. A link to the institution's DEI homepage was the most prevalent factor accounting for 42.1% of all programs collected, whereas information about bias training and fellowship-associated DEI webpage were the least prevalent. The results of this study reveal an overall lack of DEI content across all dermatology subspecialties' webpages and represent an actionable area of improvement for fellowship directors to increase their DEI efforts to attract a diverse pool of applicants to their program.
